These are subject to change when unscheduled assessments used for PPS are completed, e.g., significant change in status, or when other requirements must be met. **In some cases, such an assessment may be used for PPS if it is later determined that qualification for Part A coverage was present at the time of the assessment (see Missed Assessment, section 6.8). For these assessments A0310A will be 01 to 06 and A0310B will be Table 3. Assessment Indicator Second Digit Table Second Digit Values Assessment Type Impact on Standard Payment Period 0 Either a sscheduled PPS assessment not replaced by or combined with an unscheduled PPS assessment oror an OBRA assessment used fornot coded as a PPS assessment No impact on the standard payment period (the assessment is not unscheduled). If the second digit value is 0, then the first digit must be 1 through 6, indicating a scheduled PPS assessment or an OBRA assessment used for PPS. If the first digit value is a 6, then the second digit value must be 0 (continued) 4. The ARD (A2300) of the Start of Therapy OMRA must be the last day of the Medicare Part A stay (A2400C). The Start of Therapy OMRA ARD must equal the end of Medicare stay date (A2400C). The end of the Medicare stay date is the date Part A ended. See instructions for Item A2400C in Chapter 3 for more detail. 5. The ARD (A2300) of the Start of Therapy OMRA may not be more than 3 days after the start of therapy date (Item O0400A5, O0400B5, or O0400C5, whichever is September 2010 Page 1
2 earliest). This is an exception to the rules for selecting the ARD for a SOT OMRA, as it It is not possible to havefor the ARD for the Short stay Assessment to be 5-7 days after the start of therapy since therapy must have been able to be provided only 1-4 days. 7. At least one therapy discipline continued through the last day of the Medicare Part A stay. At least one of the therapy disciplines must have a dash-filled end of therapy date (O0400A6, O0400B6, or O0400C6) indicating ongoing therapy or an end of therapy date equal to the end of covered Medicare stay date (A2400C). Therapy is considered to be ongoing when: The resident was discharged and therapy was planned to continue had the resident remained in the facility, or The resident s SNF benefit exhausted and therapy continued to be provided, or The resident s payer source changed and therapy continued to be provided Index Maximizing Classification. Index maximizing classification is used in Medicare PPS (and most Medicaid payment systems) to select the RUG-IV group for payment. There is a designated Case Mix Index (CMI) that represents the relative resource utilization for each RUG-IV group. For index maximizing, first determine all of the RUG-IV groups for which the resident qualifies. Then, from the qualifying groups, choose the RUG-IV group that has the highest CMI. For Medicare PPS, the index maximizing method uses the CMIs effective with RUG-IV implementation on October 1, While the presentfollowing worksheet illustrates the hierarchical classification method, it can be adapted for index maximizing. For index maximizing, evaluate all classification groups rather than assigning the resident to the first qualifying group. In the index maximizing approach, again start at the beginning of the worksheet. Then work down through all of the 66 RUG-IV Classification groups, ignoring instructions to skip groups and noting each group for which the resident qualifies. When finished, record the CMI for each of these groups. Select the group with the highest CMI. This group is the index-maximized classification for the resident In all ssteps #1 through #3 in calculating Rehabilitation Therapy Minutes, retain all decimal places in the calculated September 2010 Page 2
3 values. Values where decimal points are retained are indicated by an asterisk (*) STEP # 1 If group minutes (O0400A3) divided by Total Minutes is greater than 0.25, then add individual minutes (O0400A1) and one-half of concurrent minutes (O0400A2), multiply this sum by and then divide by 3.0, and record as Adjusted Minutes STEP # 2 If group minutes (O0400A3) divided by Total Minutes is greater than 0.25, then add individual minutes (O0400A1) and one-half of concurrent minutes (O0400A2), multiply this sum by and then divide by 3.0, and record as Adjusted Minutes STEP # 3 If group minutes (O0400A3) divided by Total Minutes is greater than 0.25, then add individual minutes (O0400A1) and one-half of concurrent minutes (O0400A2), multiply this sum by and then divide by 3.0, and record as Adjusted Minutes. *When there is a fraction, use the fraction in the calculation STEP # 4 ^Total Therapy Minutes is not rounded. Record only the whole number with all values after the decimal dropped Speech-language Pathology Services: Individual minutes = 1010 (Item O0400A1), Concurrent minutes = (Item O0400A2), Group minutes = 1010 (Item O0400A3). Calculate total SLP minutes = / = * (retain the decimal). Check group proportion = 100/259.5 = Adjusted SLP minutes for Medicare Part A = 101/252.5 =.4. Ssince group proportion isminutes are greater than.25, the group adjustment applies for Medicare Part A. Adjusted Speech-Language Pathology Services Minutes = [( /250.5) x 1.334]/3 = * (retain the decimal). Occupational Therapy: September 2010 Page 3

Check group proportion = 80/197.5 = Adjusted OT minutes for Medicare Part A since group proportion is= 79/197.5 =.4. Since group minutes are greater than.25, the group adjustment applies for Medicare Part A. Adjusted Occupational Therapy Minutes = [( /2) x 1.334]/3 = * (retain the decimal). Physical Therapy: Individual minutes = 932 (Item O0400C1), Concurrent minutes = 93 (Item O0400C2), Group minutes = 934 (Item O0400C3). Calculate total PT minutes = / = 232.5* (retain the decimal). Check group proportion = 94/232.5 = Adjusted PT minutes for Medicare Part A since= 93/232.5 =.4.

Total Adjusted Therapy Minutes: Sum SLP, OT and PT adjusted minutes = = = ^ (do not round, use whole number) Drop decimals = minutes^ (this is the total therapy minutes value for RUG-IV classification STEP # 1 4. The ARD (Item A2300) of the Start of Therapy OMRA must be the last day of the Medicare Part A stay A2400C). The Start of Therapy OMRA ARD must equal the end of Medicare stay date (A2400C). The end of the Medicare stay date is the date Part A ended. See instructions for Item A2400C in Chapter 3 for more detail. 5. The ARD (Item A2300) of the Start of Therapy OMRA may not be more than 3 days after the start of therapy date (Items O0400A5, O0400B5, or O0400C5, whichever is earliest). This is an exception to the rules for selecting the September 2010 Page 4
5 ARD for a SOT OMRA, as it It is not possible to havefor the ARD for the Short Stay Assessment to be 5-7 days after the start of therapy since therapy must have been able to be provided only 1-4 days. 7. At least one therapy discipline continued through the last day of the Medicare Part A stay. At least one of the therapy disciplines must have a dash-filled end of therapy date (Items O0400A6, O0400B6, or O0400C6) indicating ongoing therapy or an end of therapy date equal to the end of covered Medicare stay date (Item A2400C). Therapy is considered to be ongoing when: The resident was discharged and therapy was planned to continue had the resident remained in the facility, or The resident s SNF benefit exhausted and therapy continued to be provided, or The resident s payer source changed and therapy continued to be provided Classification in this category is based on the presence of certain behavioral symptoms and or the resident s cognitive performance. Use the following instructions: STEP # & 6-46 If the resident meets the criteria for being cognitively impaired, then he or she classifies in Behavioral Symptoms and Cognitive Performance. Skip to Step #5. If he or she does not present with a cognitive impairment as defined here, proceed to Step #4. Missed Assessment If the SNF fails to set the ARD prior to the end of the last day of the ARD window, including grace days, and as a result ana Medicare-required assessment does not exist in the QIES ASAP for the payment period, the provider may not usually bill for days when an assessment does not exist in the QIES ASAP. When an assessment does not exist in the QIES ASAP, there is not an assessment based RUG the provider may bill. In order to bill for Medicare SNF Part A services, the provider must submit a valid assessment that is accepted into the QIES ASAP. The provider must bill the RUG category that is verified by the system. Ifand the resident was already discharged from Medicare Part A when this is discovered, an assessment may not be completed. (see exceptions below). The provider must bill the September 2010 Page 5
6 RUG category that is verified by the system. The provider may not bill for days when an assessment does not exist in the QIES ASAP. In order to bill for Medicare SNF Part A services, the provider must submit a valid assessment that is accepted into the QIES ASAP. The provider must bill the RUG category that is verified by the system. However, there are instances when the SNF may bill the default code when ana Medicare-required assessment does not exist in the QIES ASAP system. These exceptions are: 1. The stay is less than 8 days within a spell of illness, 2. The SNF is notified on an untimely basis of or is unaware of a Medicare Secondary Payer denial, 3. The SNF is notified on an untimely basis of the revocation of a payment ban, 4. The beneficiary requests a demand bill, or 5. The SNF is notified on an untimely basis or is unaware of a beneficiary s disenrollment from a Medicare Advantage plan. In situations 2-5, the provider may use the OBRA Admission assessment (the ARD of the OBRA Admission assessment may be before or during the Medicare stay and does not have to fall within the ARD window of the 5-day or 14-day assessment) to bill for all days of covered care associated with Medicarerequired 5-day and 14-day assessments, even if the beneficiary is no longer receiving therapy services that were identified under the most recent clinical assessment. When an OBRA Admission assessment does not exist, the SNF must have a valid OBRA assessment (except a stand-alone discharge assessment) in the QIES ASAP system that falls within the ARD window of the 5- day or the 14-day (including grace days) in order to receive full payment at the RUG category in which the resident grouped for days 1-14 or days This assessment may only cover one payment period. If the ARD of the valid OBRA assessment falls outside the ARD window of the 5-day and 14-day PPS assessments (including grace days), the SNF must bill the default code for the applicable payment period. For covered days associated with the Medicare-required 30-day, 60-day, or 90-day assessments, the SNF must have ana valid OBRA assessment (except a stand-alone discharge assessment) in the QIES ASAP system that falls within the ARD window of the September 2010 Page 6
7 PPS assessment (including grace days) in order to receive full payment at the RUG category in which the resident grouped. If the ARD of the valid OBRAan assessment falls outside the ARD window of the PPS assessment (including grace days), the SNF must bill the default code. Under all situations other than exceptions 1-5, the following apply when the SNF failed to set the ARD prior to the end of the last day of the ARD window, including grace days, or later and the resident was already discharged from Medicare Part A when this was discovered: 1. If ana valid OBRA assessment (except a stand-alone discharge assessment) exists in the QIES ASAP system with an ARD that is within the ARD window of the PPS assessment (including grace days), the SNF may bill the RUG category in which the resident classified. 2. If ana valid OBRA assessment (except a stand-alone discharge assessment) exists in the QIES ASAP system with an ARD that is outside the ARD window of the Medicarerequired assessment (including grace days), the SNF may not bill for any days associated with the missing PPS assessment. 3. If ana valid OBRA assessment (except a stand-alone discharge assessment) does not exist in the QIES ASAP system, the SNF may not bill for any days associated with the missing PPS assessment.
